OPeNDAP Definition

Open-source Project for a Network Data Access Protocol, is a community standard DAP that provides a simple way for researchers to access and work with gridded and sequential Earth Observation data over the internet.

The Helmholtz-UFZ OPeNDAP Data Catalog is a software for creating remote repositories of centralized environmental research data objects generated and curated by researchers and collaborators. Our primary goal is to promote data sharing, reusability, and collaboration among scientists and institutions engaged in environmental research. The catalog encompasses a wide range of data types, including but not limited to climate data, ecological datasets, hydrological records, and more.

This comprehensive guide is designed to assist research teams, working groups, projects, and departments in effectively setting and contributing to their own installations of the OPenDAP Data Catalog. Our commitment to open science and data transparency is at the heart of this initiative, and we aim to facilitate seamless access to valuable environmental research data for the benefit of the scientific community and society as a whole.
